Secret Service Uses John McCain’s Old Code Name 1 Last Time In Touching Tribute
The United States Secret Service isn’t known for its emotional side, but the agency lowered its collective shades on Monday to pay tribute to the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The department tweeted a message that included McCain’s old code name from when he was the 2008 Republican presidential nominee:
